Why sharon chose Kaş

We are proud new owners of our dream Villa Serefe.

Martin and I first visited Kalkan 5 years ago when our friends had a villa built there. We have stayed with them many times since and we promised ourselves that one day we too would own 'a little piece' of this charming, unique and beautiful Turkish town. We love everything Kalkan has to offer from the stunning elegant harbour to the quirky myriad of boutique shops. The roof top terrace restaurants are especially stunning at night and the food is absolutely amazing and excellent value. The people are kind, friendly and helpful. There are so many interesting places to visit including clean sandy beaches with crystal clear turquoise sea, beach clubs, ancient ruins and beautiful gorges. I am confident you will love Kalkan too.

What makes this villa unique

Our lovely Villa "Serefe" is set nestling in the hillside of the Kiziltas area and undoubtably has some of the best views in Kalkan. Even at the height of summer there is a breeze and the location is quiet and peaceful. At night the view is equally spectacular and magical with the twinkling lights of Kalkan and clear skies. Our villa is well equipped with everything you need for a perfect holiday and a comfortable stay including beach towels. There is a pretty courtyard and enclosed garden if you have little ones who want to play. Our Manager Cengiz and his team are always on standby to help you with any requirements and nothing is too much trouble for them. Should you need me to organise transfers from and to the airport, car hire or excursions, then I can do this for you at very competitive prices.

Fantastic villa fantastic location

Have just returned for 2 week stay. The villa is very well a quipped clean great pool and fantastic views. Sharon the owner was great with nothing too much trouble from the booking and recommending the transfers and anything you needed. The villa is a 15 min walk to the town where you spoilt for choice with many very good quality restaurants. The local people are so friendly and nothing is any trouble. If you don't fancy eating out you can use what's app to call them free of charge and they will delivery good quality food to your door. There is a hotel a 2 min walk where you are welcome and serve food all day and evening entertainment once a week. I can't recommend this villa and location enough and will return.

Great Holiday

We have just had a lovely holiday at Villa Serefe. It is in a handy location with great views. From the initial request of booking this villa, the owner, Sharon, has been extremely helpful and replied to queries practically by return and was very flexible in view of our staying at the villa a little later because of the late flights. The villa was well equipped, spotless and bright with various terraces and balconies to take in the views and is excellent value for money. There was a linen change/light clean in the middle of the week and the pool was cleaned regularly and pool towels were supplied (an added bonus in our view when trying to keep within the weight limit in your luggage!). Also the WIFI was a bonus - having stayed in other villas where it was erratic to say the least.

We used Define Tours for the pick up from the airport and for the various trips. They are extremely helpful and by talking to some other people on the various trips we paid a bit less for ours - so worth bearing in mind!

We also went on a boat trip to the Sunken City - and have to say that whilst we really enjoyed the trip itself, there was not much to see through the bottom of the boat! There were interesting ruins on the hillside going down into the sea but the views through the glass bottom of the boat to the "sunken city" were somewhat disappointing in our opinion.

There are so many great places to eat in Kalkan; we haven't had a bad meal there yet. You can get a great meal at Kaya - one of the owners is also a member of the magic circle and will come and do some close up magic at your table at the end of your meal. They also do a day trip up to their farm in the hills for a BBQ and this is well worth going to. Works out about £23 per head, you leave at 10.30 a.m. - 5.30 p.m. There is plenty of food and entertainment to be had. Kosk is another great restaurant. All in all Kalkan is a great place and we will be back.

We would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone thinking of going out to Kalkan.

Fabulous holiday

An absolutely fantastic holiday! Villa Serefe was beautiful, we loved the welcome pack and the transfers were super- nothing too much trouble for Ozgur. The pool was cleaned daily and dining on the roof terrace and playing cards overlooking the lights of Kalkan amazing. We went to the mud baths, gorge and Patara Beach all beautiful and great value for money! The beach club at Kalamar was great fun especially for the children - trampolines and pedaloes. In Kalkan itself there are so many restaurants to choose from and to be honest we didn't have a bad meal in any of them- have left a list of favourites in the visitor book! Thanks to Sharon for being so flexible and helpful, we had a late flight going home and were able to stay in the villa enjoying the pool and sun until pick up. Would not hesitate in recommending this villa to friends and family. Huge thank you for allowing us to share a little bit of your paradise.

A superb villa

We have just got back from three wonderful weeks in this villa and it was just fabulous. The villa is exactly as described, every bedroom has its own balcony overlooking Kalkan bay, with the most fabulous views imaginable. The fact that the villa has internet is indeed a bonus, it makes such a difference! It is completely home from home, so if you don't fancy going out, the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you would need to enjoy a nice home cooked meal on the roof terrace overlooking the twinkling lights of Kalkan, or have yourself a BBQ round the pool. There is also a water cooler, which means no lugging huge bottles of water from the local shops. The welcome pack even included a bottle of wine. Even beach towels are supplied, and the hairdryer in the main bedroom is very powerful. The beds are comfy, especially the huge bed in the master bedroom. The pool, which is a really decent size, and surrounding patio area is cleaned every single day, and the villa itself is cleaned, including a change of bed linen and towels every two or three days. The transfer was great, and the day after arrival we were visited by the owner of Define Tours, who gives you what amounts to your very own Welcome Meeting, he is a mine of information, giving hints and tips for days out, the best places to eat, the banks that give the best exchange rate etc.etc. Sharon has indeed chosen a very good management staff to ensure that your every need is catered for. We would most certainly recommend this villa to our family and friends. We were very sorry to leave, but we have listed some interesting places to visit and also recommended some great places to eat in her visitors comment book left in the villa. Thanks Sharon for a brilliant holiday.

Great all round! Loved it

We booked our stay at the Villa Serefe and had great communication throughout the booking process and right up until and after. If ever I sent an email it was usually answered within 10mins by the owner!

The villa itself- wonderful, we arrived to an immaculately clean and well designed villa, it had all of the amenities we could have asked for and matched the description perfectly. The pictures don't do it justice, its spacious (all 3 bedrooms are large and comfortable- the main bedroom has an enormous bed! If you struggle with early sunrises waking you up I'd suggest you bring an eye mask (I cant sleep without one) as the bedrooms are quite light in the mornings- but the sun beaming in was a great way to start the day.

The kitchen was very well equipped- having a water cooler was a great feature as it meant that we didn't have to buy bottled water every day- we just replaced the large one on the cooler and took the empty one back to the store.

If you were on a shoestring and planned not to eat out every night you could very comfortably prepare great meals in this villa or have wonderful BBQ's in the lovely garden with views out over the bay.

The villa was in a wonderful location- it was about a 10-15min walk into town (longer coming back because of the steep hill which was great to get the heart pumping and work off that great dinner you've just had). We had a little difficulty in finding it at first purely because the address wouldn't show up on google maps but the owner gave helpful directions- we just didn't pay attention!

Throughout our stay the gardens were maintained and the villa was cleaned during the week we were there- all of this took place with us hardly even noticing, very discreet.

Pros- great location and views, beautiful private pool and garden, well equipped and well thought out. Rooms are a great size, beds comfortable. Great facilities, WIFI!! (big bonus), welcome pack on arrival was fantastic after our late arrival there at midnight

Cons- of the 3 showers, 2 were not wonderful but they were very useable- the newest one on the top floor was great. If you like complete darkness over night the curtains are not what we're used to at home. Another con is that we couldn't stay forever!

I'd really recommend this villa, it is a great place for friends and families to stay and completely unwind in a beautiful setting. I'd be back there in a heartbeat.
